How can undefined constant errors be avoided when accessing array indexes in PHP?

Undefined constant errors can be avoided when accessing array indexes in PHP by using single quotes or double quotes around the index key. This ensures that PHP interprets the index key as a string rather than a constant. By doing this, PHP will not throw an error when trying to access the array element. 

$array = ['key' => 'value'];

// Accessing array index without quotes (will result in an error)
// $value = $array[key];

// Accessing array index with single quotes
$value = $array['key'];

// Accessing array index with double quotes
// $value = $array["key"];
